I feel like I've always known what I wanted to do with my life. It just came naturally and I never really had any doubts about my decision.

But it all had to change once I had to attend Temple last minute. The major I wanted wasn't as strongly recognized as it was at my previous school, and I didn't really want to risk taking it on here.

So, ultimately I decided on Journalism. It was something I liked doing but didn't fully love it. But I thought, why not give it a chance. My father always encouraged this profession and constantly told me how good of a writer I was, despite only reading essays I was forced to write in school.

Fast forward to now, I'm two weeks away from finishing my first semester of college. I've already taken an intro to journalism class. I loved it… and I hated it. I realized that all journalism revolves around is politics, something I'm not too big of a fan of. Of course, not all journalism revolves around this, but the majority of it does. I wanted to do something creative with journalism, like a photojournalist for the "New York Times" or the "National Geographic."

While those are possible career paths with a journalism degree, I knew it would be a challenge to squeeze my way into those fields, because like I said, journalism is mostly about politics. That was something that was hard to avoid. I knew I'd have to start as a writer or something, and that I'd have to write about the current elections going on, or something of that sort.

I just came to the realization that the major wasn't for me. I spent weeks having mental breakdowns over this because it was the first time in my life I had no idea what I was going to do with the rest of my life. I spent those weeks researching everything on the internet on what you can do with this degree and what you can do with that degree. I'm independent as hell, and I wanted to do this on my own instead of talking to a counselor.

After spending night after night researching everything I was ever interested in, I finally found the perfect major for me. I know I wanted to work with companies and social media, and so I found out that with a Communications degree you can become a Social Media Manager. Communications Studies was a major that was still in Klein College at Temple, which I was so happy about since Klein is like a second home to me. I feel so comfortable there that I didn't want to leave there and go to another school at Temple.

Long story short, it's okay to not know what you want to do, and you'll figure it out eventually. Just stick to what you love, and I know for a fact there will be a ton of outlets for you to turn that passion for something into a career that you can do for the rest of your life.
